Post by johnPost by Steve HayesThree girls named Emma EDE were born in the Liskeard district of
Cornwall between 1858 and 1860 (FreeBMD).
One of them married Thomas Fenwick in Houghton-le-Spring RD, but I'm
not sure which one it was.
In 1878Q1. (That's a long way [it's in Durham] from Cornwall!)
I was going to say you could find some of their children, and then look
at the GRO to get their MMN, but they'd all be Ede! [Or EDE if you wish.
(-:]
But FreeBMD only shows the registration district, which covers quite a
lot of places (see https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/liskeard.html
for a list).
1859Q1, 1859Q3 (Emma Jane), and 1860Q1 (also Emma Jane).
So check 1861 census for Emma Ede born Cornwall 1859 ±2:
Emma Jane Heed 1859 St Pinnock (really, that means shown as age 2)
Emma Ede 1859 Broadoak (2 - so born 1859 or '8)
Emma I Ede 1860 Liskeard (1 - so born 1860 or '59)
Emma J Ede 1860 St Cleer (1)
(All four places come under Liskeard [see the above list].) [The I is
probably a mis-transcribed J.]
1881 census, Emma Fenwick born Cornwall: oh bother, it (the only one)
just says Cornwall! It does say Emma J., though, and she's 22. So born
1859 or '8 - so probably _not_ the 1860Q1 one. (We don't know which that
is though.)
Let's try for that marriage record.
Hmm - can't find it!
1871 census - Emma Ede born Cornwall 1859 ±2:
Emma J Ede born "1860" Liskeard is still in Cornwall
Emma Ede born "1860" Broadoak is still in Cornwall
Emma Jane Ede born "1858" St Pinocle is in Wingate Colliery, DURHAM
Age 13, so really born 1858 or '7. Assuming she's the one shown as born
St Pinnock in the 1861, she's born 1858. Still with parents and
siblings, all born in St Pinocle except the youngest (b. Wingate) - so
the family obviously came north to work in mining. (Not unusual: a clump
of mine, Neave and others, came from Norfolk to Northumberland to do the
same; many came from all over the country [including Ireland] to
Northumberland and Durham at that time.)
So I'd say she's the most likely to be the one who married in H-le-S.
Post by johnPost by Steve HayesAnd what happened to the other two, who seem to have disappeared by
the 1881 Census?
Married or died, I guess. Emma Ede married 1871-1881 gives 9, or 8 if
you exclude the H-le-S one; two are in Cornwall - Emma Louisa in
Penzance 1871Q3, and Emma Jane in Liskeard 1881Q2 (_could_ have been
before the 1881 census, especially if they were a bit late registering
the marriage; seems likely given the name and place). The Penzance one
_could_ be possible - minimum age for marriage didn't change from 12
(for females) until 1929! The others are in Lambeth, Dorking, Aylsham,
St. Olave (Emma Eliza), and Islington (Emma Pamela, listed twice in
error).
Ah, but Emma Ede died 1871-1881: There are 7, only 2 anywhere near the
right age - one (Emma Elizabeth) aged 8 in Melksham (Wiltshire) in
1878Q3, and one aged 10 in Liskeard in 1879Q3.
So I'd say one died, one married - both still in Liskeard.
Post by johnThere is a public Ede family tree entry on Ancestry for Emma J Ede
Spouse: Thomas William Fenwick
Father: Robert Ede
Mother: Ann Sandercock
Birth: 1860 Liscard Cheshire England
Residence: 1891 Houghton Le Spring Durham England
There is no more information to confirm marriage details in the family
tree entry, but the marriage certificate would give you confirmation.
I think that'll be her - it's obviously based on the only 1891 census
entry for an Emma Fenwick born in Cornwall - "Liscard" yes, but Cornwall
not Cheshire! Looking at the image it does indeed say (quite clear
writing) Cornwall Liscard. With husband born in Birtley (Durham), a
son-in-law, and ten children (inc. wife of s-i-l) all born H-le-S. (No
mother or m-i-l with them.)
(I have Fenwicks in my data, but all [but one for whom I have no
placing] born in Northumberland.)
